1954 F100 Pick Up

1954 F100 pick up delivered to Griffs for a revival and transplant of a healthy new 5.0 Coyote crate engine coupled to a Tremec T56 six speed manual through to an all new Ford 9″ rear end.

Front suspension system is a complete IFS (independent front suspension) kit from Rodtech with power rack and pinion steering, 14″ Wilwood drilled and slotted rotors and 4 piston calipers to suit. Rear suspension will be parallel 4 bar with coil over shocks and Wilwood 12.19″ disc brake system to match the front.

Rolling matter is taken care of by Coys C33 solids in satin black, 18 x 8 front and 18 x 9.5 rears with Pirelli rubber.

The original chassis has been broken down to bare frame rails and boxing plates have been tacked in position and set up on our chassis fixture. The front suspension is sitting in place as is the rear tub, RH running board and RH front fender. Wheels and tyres are in place to set the final ride height, the rear of the chassis will have some mods to allow for the lower stance and suspension travel.

As the new steering is RHD (right hand drive) we also need to carry out a RHD conversion to the original metal dash and firewall.

Keep your eyes on this one, sure to be a crowd pleaser……………….

Description & Details

Designed at a time when Studebaker’s truck line hadn’t seen major upgrading in over 10 years, the company, which had endured years of declining sales, was forced to use a number of existing components, but the result was impressive.

The chassis and cargo box of the Champ were basically the same as what had been used for Studebaker’s ½ and ¾-ton trucks since 1949, but the cab section was very different.

An entirely new cab was out of the question because of cost considerations, but the new Lark compact car’s body proved to be just the right size and shape to suit the purpose. The engineering staff took a four-door sedan, cut it in half behind the front doors and modified the front half slightly to fit the truck chassis. The only new sheetmetal stamping that was required was the back wall of the new cab. Minor modifications for mounting of the cab to the 1949-vintage truck frame were also made.

The Lark’s front end sheetmetal was retained as well, but funds were allocated to give the Champ a new horizontal-bar grille that delivered a “tougher” look.

From the start of production, those desiring V8 power could choose between Studebaker’s 259- and 289 in³ engines with either a two- or four-barrel carburettor. Both engines remained largely unchanged during the Champ’s production run.

The LHD to RHD (right hand drive) conversion has been completed, we have used some parts from a donor Australian delivered RHD Champ which has worked out great.

The project has now seen the install of a complete IFS (Independant front suspension) system with power rack and pinion steering and disc brake upgrade. This has allowed the stance of the Champ to take on a whole new look. In keeping with the theme we have also upgraded the rear suspension to a Ford 8″ assembly.

The old 4 speed truck box has been thrown over the left shoulder to be replaced by a new T5 manual transmission complete with hydraulic clutch. We have adapted the T5 to the factory bellhousing and it was specially ordered with the front shift position to suit the factory champ floorpan and bench seat.

No doubt by far the most impressive upgrade has to be the addition of a factory 1957 Studebaker Hawk Supercharger kit to the engine, we were lucky enough to be put into contact with the right people to find these rare parts!

The interior has been completely retrimmed in red/cream to match the exterior colours. We have also fabricated a custom hard tonneau cover from aluminium to cover up the cargo.

As usual we will complete the Engineering (VASS) certificate as required and fully register the Champ.

Stay tuned to see what happens next………..

It features a custom built 428CI small block stroker engine by Leon Patton Race Engines in USA with a Kinsler/Motec fuel injection system coupled to a custom built 4 speed 4L80E automatic transmission with paddle shift at the steering wheel.

Powering through a custom 10.5″ full floating rear end assembly built by Cone Industries USA. Steering, front and rear suspension is by Total Control Products and has been tweaked of course by Cone Industries.

As vehicle will be fully Engineered and registered in SA it has also undergone a RHD conversion during the build. Interior is also modified from standard but still retains the Mustang look. Custom dash , gauges, console and Cobra seats are a certain feature.

Vehicle has been completed and is currently undergoing the process for registration in SA.

What an amazing vehicle to drive, handles like a true sports car, unbelievable power and it gets the power to the ground exceptionally well without fuss or hesitation. Best of all you can drive on the street without any issues. The transmission is set up with two driving modes; at the push of a button you can switch from “pick up the shopping mode” to “let’s go racing” mode.

The F100 Chassis was put through its paces and has undergone a torsion and beam test as part of Engineering. The complete chassis was powder coated in black as well as all suspension components.

The body work and paint has been completed and looks amazing.

The Glide Engineering seat asssembly and door trims were trimmed in Ultraleather, csutom healiner and rear of cab covers also custom trimmed.

Final assembly is done including the beautiful interior which looks a treat and is extremely comfortable and very usable.
